Don’t forget when watching 6 Nations today you will be watching history.
Today is the first time that a woman will be refereeing a men’s Six nations match; when imo one of the best ref in the world, Hollie Davidson, takes charge of Ireland vs Italy.

Sophie Molieneux to be Australian captain is an interesting choice to say the least.
Can you rely on someone who unfortunately is injured a lot to be captain of all format?
Also throws up and few selection dilemmas now too? Would they play 4 spinners in a team?

Strikers vs Hurricanes getting abandoned at KRO because of a stray ball in the Strikers innings warm up getting under the roller is both funny and annoying.
